A style that can be considered the "rebellious twin brother" of the once flashy Y2K trend, is now re-emerging and loved by big names in the American entertainment industry.
Unlike 20 years ago, however, this stylistic explosion is not one of indulgence or spontaneity. It is no longer the casual sloppiness that once expressed the artist’s desire to separate his private life from his work.
In contrast, every detail is now carefully calculated. The Wall Street Journal calls the trend "trashcore," with the spirit of dressing like the lovable geeks in early 2000s romantic movies, but upgraded with a more sophisticated fashion sense.
The rebellious dress trend is a response to the era of 'quiet luxury'
The rise of the rebellious dress trend is a clear reaction to years of dominance of "quiet luxury" (meaning a lifestyle that emphasizes sophisticated taste without overt displays of wealth).
The trend appears as a counter-wave, pushing back the conservative aesthetic trend, which is considered a big challenge for the creative industry today.
Recently, the representative face of this style is Timothée Chalamet. During the promotion of the movie A Complete Unknown , he surprised with a completely different style compared to his previous appearances both on the red carpet and in everyday photos.

If in the Dune or Wonka era, the actor leaned towards luxury and elaborately tailored suits (especially when playing Paul Atreides), then in the past year, he has strongly transformed in a disruptive, diverse and spontaneous direction.
This change was achieved thanks to the collaboration with stylist Taylor McNeill - the person behind a series of outfits that took social media by storm this year: from the Telfar, Chanel and Arcteryx hybrid outfit when appearing on Saturday Night Live , to the bold combination of Chanel and Bibi Star's pink skinny scarf at the Paris premiere of the biopic.
Another prominent face is singer Addison Rae. On the red carpet and in music videos, Addison works with stylist Dara Allen - model and fashion editor of Interview Magazine.

Addison's true rebel side is evident in her everyday style, which is reminiscent of Britney Spears's peak between In the Zone and Blackout.
One of the most viral outfits was at the Aquamarine second single release party: a seashell bra, pale blue fishnet tights, faux fur scarf, and oversized white sunglasses by Jacques Marie Mage.
Justin Bieber's personal mark
According to NSS Magazine , when talking about "trashcore", we cannot help but mention Justin Bieber - who in recent years has turned this rebellious style into his own brand, to the point that there have been rumors online that he is having health problems and is addicted.
But what many thought was the end for Bieber was actually a new beginning.

After a series of viral paparazzi photos of his "unique" outfits, the male singer took advantage of this heat to reveal a new fashion brand called SKYLRK - built entirely on the concept of "controlled chaos", combined with the spirit of modern streetwear.
The brand, which he developed with stylist Jenna Tyson, features items that are rebellious: floor-sweeping cargo pants, jerseys inspired by 2000s basketball uniforms, and skateboarding-inspired flats.
Items like his oversized tracksuits , thick-rimmed sunglasses, and neon beanies have sparked searches on secondhand marketplaces like Depop and Grailed.

On Instagram, Bieber also confirmed leaving his old brand Drew House, in order to escape the underground style and return to the original spirit - when he was still loyal to messy oversized clothes.
This is exactly what Gen Z craves: a somewhat chaotic authenticity, without the need for elaborate embellishments but with a strong personality, just like the way they used to be fascinated by the "mix and match but cool" trend. It can be seen that the "trashcore" craze is still just beginning.
